The G. A. Z. at Philadelphia joined

The G. A. K. at Philadelphia joined
heartily with the multitude in honoring
President Cleveland, who was there in per-
son, representing the dignity of his high
Office. This Is sufficient vindication fol-
the Grand Army against the charge that
it does not respect the presidential offics
because {. Democratic President fills it.
Mr.. Cleveland was not thrust upon them
at Philadelphia by his political friends fol
a sinister purpose, bat was present Off.
cially as the invited and honored guest oi
the National Centennial Commission and
Of the city. The g. A. R. appreciated the
difference between these circumstance
and those surrounding the Wheeling Of.
fair. Only politicians with an end in view
will seek to draw q parallel. None but
extreme partizana will attempt to make it
appear that the tremendous reception
rendered the President was anything but
patriotic recognition OF the otiice OF
Chief Magistrate, created by the Oonstitu.
tion. over the birth Of which they had as.
sembled to rejoice.
